The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text.

Thanks to an intense lobbying push, manufacturers of frying pans and saucepans — including the SEB group, which owns Tefal — are exempt from this ban under the proposed law penned by French Green MPs.

Majority groups initially tried to delay the ban on kitchen utensils until 2030 — a timetable refused by the French Green MPs who instead suggested an exemption until 2026.

    Not really, it is quite terribly sticky. But it will outlast you, and heats up more or less uniformly. Also it’s great for stuff that is better served warm because you can make a huge pot of it and the thermal inertia of the pot will keep it warm for a while

    Also idk if you know this already, but I found that usually, heating some water in it for a while (a good 30 mins, you don’t need to bring the water to a boil either), will help a fair bit with the cleanup of some sticky residues.
